    On track; 99.9% front. rear brake is used to control wheelies out of corners etc, just a touch is enough.

    How about foot weight distribution? Do you put more weight on inside or outside pegs? Or equal? Does weight distribution change on corner entry, mid, and exit?

  • @CarsMeetsBikes

    @CarsMeetsBikes

    4 жыл бұрын

    Personally I find that I have most of my weight on the inside peg, you can also see in the video that in a tighter corner he lifts his outside foot completely off of the peg. I would assume the weight distribution gradually increases on corner entry and then equalizes on exit

  • @sanjoriot
    @sanjoriot5 жыл бұрын

    Does it matter if you’re all up on the tank? For straightaways it could be better to help keep the front down but what about turns? Do you shift weight forward backward at all or is it mostly determined as a result of your wrist/foot position? I guess just in general talking about body position in terms of forward and back would be cool to hear.

    tthis foot positioning tip is very key , forces all your body down on the bike giveing yourself more traction especially during cornering, to be honest it felt like the bike was alot more controled and planted to the ground during corners, gives you the confidence to push just a little more in corners
